The replication data includes

1) This ReadMe File
2) "VacHes.do": a Stata Do-File replicating (nearly) all statistical figures and tables from the article and the Online Appendix
3) a folder "data" including 
	a) the following datasets with individual data from the Politikpanel Survey (https://www.politikpanel.uni-freiburg.de/): 
		- "W1_Feb21.dta" 
		- "W2_Apr21.dta" 
		- "W3_Jul21.dta" 
		- "W4_Oct21.dta" 
    		--> codebooks for all four datasets can be found in the subfolder "codebooks"
	b) the following additional datasets
	- "Bundeslaender_COVID-19-Impfungen_08.12.2021.csv" (source: https://github.com/robert-koch-institut/COVID-19-Impfungen_in_Deutschland)
	- "hesitancy_BL.xlsx" (see file for sources)
	- "info_source_spider.xlsx" (replicates Fig. 3 from the article)
	- "vacc_rate_bundeslaender.xlsx" (see file for sources)

4) two folders "figures" and "tables" in which all the results from the article and the Online Appendix will be saved.  
5) a folder "map" including a QGIS project and the associated shapefiles for replicating Fig. 2.
6) a folder dump in which intermediate results and results not presented in the article are saved (can be deleted after the estimation).

Before running VacHes.do:
- set the path to your "Replication"-folder (see line 5) 

Caution: Running the complete Do-File takes about 15 minutes on a standard machine.
